I guess I'm just finding it hard to believe that high school metrosexual, who appears extremely timid in that clip, was doing something to an NBA players family member worthy of ejection literally right behind the bench.

"Putting hands on someone" is incredibly vague. Like did he touch her shoulder or some **** when he walked past?

Via the subreddit from someone there the kid was being a ****** the entire game to CP3s mom talking trash non stop and apparently touched her at which point she left the game.

Wasn't actually a violent confrontation but sounds like he deserved to get tossed.

It's an ugly situation all around.

The kid obviously did something to CP3's family, but Chris Paul also looks bad in this situation by yelling at what looks like a scrawny teen whose mom probably bought him those tickets.

The kid is harmless and CP3 can think he's tough for yelling at a scrawny kid with security in between him and anyone in the crowd.

Either way, if you're that close to the game you gotta have some sense. It could be family members or someone important from either the mavs or suns organization sitting next to you. How hard is it to just go to a game and keep to yourself?

He couldn't have been older than 15.

Given how CP3 played, the Mavs org should publicly apologize but quietly send the kid a game ball

Interesting Chris Paul's mom and wife have not posted anything on social media confirming the incident or that it was actually this kid harassing them. No video confirming it either--yet. Perhaps it is because the incident did not happen or this kid is not the one involved. Maybe the kid did it too, but it is sad that social media is now judge and jury.

Are y'all suggesting that he learned how to draw fouls from his mother?

My one take away from this entire thing is that the term "putting hands on" needs to die. Every time I read it I imagine the person posting it looks like B-Rad from Malibu's Most Wanted.

T&p for the dad. I'm sure his wife immediately called him yelling at the top of her lungs "do you know what your son did at the game today?! I didn't even want to take them to this mess! Today is Mother's Day and I deserve MY day!"

I'm already tired of this non-story. No one got hurt, situation was handled. Lets move on. Mavs in 6.

I mean, the Mavericks released an official statement and there's video of the kid getting escorted out and Chris Paul yelling at him.

Whether or not it was a big nothing-burger and everyone was over-reacting is certainly up for debate until we know more, but I don't think you can saying nothing happened.

But ultimately it's less about "Mavs fans" and more about spectator sports in general. In the age of everyone wanting to be a social media star, fans encouraged to be "tough on the opposing team", and venues pushing alcohol sales every chance they get, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion **** will happen, and happen more often.

Pair that with the era of everyone looking to take offense at everything and here we are.

We need to start self-policing better for sure.
Way too many people just crossing the line from being rowdy over to just plain rude.

The reference for us here would be, if you see someone behaving like a Texas Tech fan you should say something or stop them.

Reflecting this morning on a couple of things...

(1) Crowder is a dirty player. It's official.

He should have been tossed after he racked Doncic.


He should have gotten a flagrant one when he hit Doncic in the face, and then he should have gotten t'd up after he grabbed his arm under the basket.


And he should have gotten tossed for throwing Doncic to the ground after Ayton fouled him. This one was wild.


(2) It's been said 10,000 times, but it's easy to forget just how good Doncic is.

And during every play, they made no mention of the cheap shots by Crowder. They also missed Bridges moving his feet in on a rebound for luka causing him to fall awkwardly. Booker hitting people in faces multiple time...

Momentum has definitely swung.

TLDW: Unrelated to the original video, sounds like Chris Paul's mom had to get moved because earlier in the game someone was talking trash. Then the kid in the new video apparently brought a couple of friends down to his seats for the last few minutes of the game, and one of them tapped CP's mom on the shoulder -- not sure if in an antagonistic manner or thinking that was an OK way to get her attention to say something to her.

Kid got tossed because he was the one that brought his friends down there.

So basically you had an ******* fan, and then some kid that was maybe an ******* fan or maybe just picked the wrong time to not know about people's boundaries.

But "putting hands on" was the vague phrase used for a reason -- sells clicks. Ultimately handled like it should have been by staff, and a nothing burger.

I was out of town all weekend and couldn't watch the games. Any insight on the 180 in games 3 and 4?

Can we put "nothing burger" in this category too?

Wanna see something weird? Points in the Paint:

  • Game 1: Dallas 44, Phoenix 38 (PHX wins by 7)
  • Game 2: Dallas 32, Phoenix 50 (PHX wins by 20)
  • Game 3: Dallas 50, Phoenix 32 (DAL wins by 7)
  • Game 4: Dallas 32, Phoenix 50 (DAL wins by 10)

What the crap, 82 combined every game? Lol, that is weird.

82...82....Jason Witten wore 82, the Cowboys drafted a tight end named Jake Ferguson out of Wisconsin, Jake Kemp of the ticket grew a goatee out in honor of Spencer Dinwiddie. Therefore, Dinwiddie is going off for a career high in Game 5.

Dinwiddie's career high is 41 (Dirk…). If he scores 42 tomorrow this will be the greatest post in Texags history.

apparently the Dallas Mavericks organization doesn't like hugs. The Paul family look like uppity snow flakes now.

Guessing the reality as always is somewhere in the middle.

We all can picture how this probably went down. CP's mom is likely a vocal fan. Couple of drunk Mavericks fans start giving it back to her and think they can get under her skin by constantly wishing her a happy mother's day on a day where CP is getting embarrassed on the court. It works, but they take it too far and initiate contact and get tossed.

End of story.

Alright, moving on.

Biggest game since last years Games 6 and 7. Before that it was the 2011 Finals. Wonder what Sean Sweeney will serve for dinner tonight?

Not the most insightful take ever, but we know the Suns are going to come out guns blazing. We just have to match the effort, even if we are down after the first 5-6 minutes. As long as we are working hard, I wont be worried.

And we've started every game down at least 6. That shouldn't phase us a bit. Wish we wouldn't start Dwight, but I don't think that's gonna happen.

Mavs in 6.

And I agree with whoever asked how CP3 isn't getting more hate for the "incident." The video shows someone tappping his mom on the shoulder at one point. And the rumor is that they were saying something like "hope you are having a happy Mother's Day" after he fouled out. That's it. The whole "putting hands on my family" is completely overblown and infers violence when there was none.

Plus, the kid CP3 was yelling at wasn't even the person who touched his mom's shoulder. And he's telling the teenager that he's going to fight him after the game. It's all WWF style ridiculous.

And on top of that, his mom is known to be ridiculous and beyond annoying at games. So if she's going to act like that, she better be able to take someone telling her happy mother's day.

Bottom line: CP3 is a *****. And playoff basketball is great.

If this was 1980s NBA we'd have an enforcer on the bench that Kidd could call on to put a hit on Crowder.
I don't know how he hasn't gotten fined yet for his antics in this series.
Let's go, Brandon!
